Directors of Coaching – Boys

Under the direction of Technical Director and Director of USDA, Victor Pastora, this technical team has experience at the Olympic, Professional, NCAA, Regional ODP and State level.

Victor Pastora serves as the Club’s Technical Director with Juan Carlos Michia as the overall Boys Director of Coaching. The WFC staff includes coaches who hold their USSF “A”, “B”, “C”, & “D” National Licenses, State D & E Licenses, National Youth Licenses, and many others who have been being awarded the NSCAA Advanced National Diploma.

Under the direction of these Program Directors, our coaches enable WFC teams to compete in Premier Divisions in SFU, State Leagues, Region Leagues, and in nationally recognized tournaments throughout the country. These include Atlanta Cup, CASL Shootout and Showcase, Jefferson Cup, Las Vegas Showcase, Manchester Cup, and Texas Shootout.

Our male athletes are strongly encouraged to participate in high visibility tournaments and leagues, as the club looks to expand their soccer experiences. As our players and families make decisions that will affect the rest of their lives, our aim is to utilize the extensive knowledge and insight our staff possesses to assist players with their future decisions. Providing continuing education for players and parents is fundamental to the Club’s programming.
